This week was my hardest week in the sense that my emotions were on a rollercoaster I was all over the place. Ask my poor sister who had to deal with it all while she was here. I was mad, sad, overwhelmed, stressed, worried, etc. all at once. I have this to-do list and it felt like NOTHING was getting done, and I am a list girl. I work quickly so I can cross things off and get things done. It stresses me out to have a long list and get nothing done. I was clearly learning a lesson from my Heavenly Father to just chill. I was crying about everything and anything and was losing it literally. Pregnancy does some crazy things to your emotions, I mean these hormones shoot. ;) Pregnancy is not easy and I was stressed. I don't know how I would do everything if I had a job right now. I would die!
The nursery is almost done so that's good I still have a few things left to hang and do but that's pretty much done. I still need to get the carseat installed and figure out how to use the Baby Bjorn carrier and breast pump, and get the pack and play up. I am going to make all my oils for labor and postpartum tomorrow and hang up a few more decorations in her room. I still need to watch all the library movies I rented on breastfeeding and childbirth with Ty which will happen Wednesday and Thursday probably. I still need to pack our bags and make those padsicle things and get stuff to make them with. But I am getting there. I keep thinking this girl is going to come early so we will see what my dr. thinks on Wednesday too.
When I talked with my mom on Friday she had some good advice for me. She told me I just needed to relax because I was literally going 100mph all day trying to get everything done and I wasn't getting anything done. She kept saying it's not fair to Berkeley to be stressed and it wasn't. I was trying to get all this done for her before she came but I need to slow down or something bad could happen. Sunday I slept a lot and actually threw up right before church and I think it was just my body's way of saying it all caught up with you-you need to chill! I am feeling better this week and my little brother Corbin who is on a mission told me specifically to relax and take it easy, and pray that I will get the things done that I needed to. That really stood out to me because everyday I always pray that I will get the things done that I need to and maybe Heavenly Father doesn't want or need me to get everything done on my to-do list in a single day. I have time to work on them the rest of the week.
